Isla Wright Enters the A Rank

Isla Wright is the newest addition to Solo Leveling Arise’s roster of Hunters, bringing her mystical flair as a Dark-element healer with a penchant for divination and cosmic powers!

Isla Wright is currently the top buffer in Solo Leveling Arise, thanks to her versatile kit that offers a range of powerful boosts, using skills like Horoscope and Celestial Discord. Her buffs can massively enhance a team’s performance, making her a standout support unit.

What set Isla Wright from other support characters is her A1 passive: when she uses Death Nova, it charges the Power Gauge of the second team member by a remarkable 60% and reduces the Ultimate Skill cooldown by a staggering 20 seconds. This ability is a game-changer, allowing her teammates to unleash their powerful skills more frequently

The only thing that hampers here from getting SS is her specialization for all-Dark teams, which can make her support somewhat restrictive in team-building. Despite this niche, Isla’s unparalleled buffing abilities easily secure her a spot among the game’s elite.

DPS: Characters who require max investment, but may still not be enough to compete against the best DPS in the game due to how strong the A and S Tiers are. Support: Some characters listed here do not have much support abilities but they can support by Breaking the enemy and letting the main DPS attack them in a broken state.
C Tier	Mediocre or best suited to the opposite role. If the character is mainly a DPS character then they will be rated bad on support and vice versa. DPS: Characters put here are better off doing damage than supporting. Support: Characters put here are better at support roles than doing lots of damage.
